It really depends on the kid and the complexity of the message. Young kids are still learning the intricacies of the language and building a vocabulary. Not talking down to them helps build those skills up. But at the end of the day, if the message is not getting across, it's the fault of the communicator.

Plus it's an annoying flex to say "see how amazing my kid is? It's all because of me!" Some kids just pick up language easier, some kids sleep all the way through the night earlier, some kids toilet train easier, etc. Usually it's better for parents to quietly take the little victory rather than treat it as a reflection of their amazing parenting skills.

But earlier this month, he said he would move the company’s headquarters to Austin, citing a new Golden State law meant to protect LGBTQ+ children as the “final straw.”

Imagine being so full of hate for a highly vulnerable group of people that you base your business decisions around it.

The bananas won't be fooled, because everyone knows that bananas are straight until they get picked and the banana bender puts the bend in them.

I thought it must be too garbled for someone to have honestly thought it was a sensible message, but hadn't seen it before. Thanks for the extra context.
